Remember Me
No need to say that as many others I have enjoy this conference a lot.
For me was also a personal success because I was finally able to have my company sponsoring the event and bring new members of my team to the conference as speakers, obviously all their merit, but I was happy as responsible of the MySQL cluster in Pythian knowing how much have cost to them to be there.
We also had a lot of people at the community dinner, last head count I did was over 120 people. In this regard I have to clarify some misunderstanding and confusion we had there.
Pedro's requests to us to have the last head count by Tuesday morning, given that I have closed the count from the comments in the web-site and from the emails around noon. The number I pass to Pedro's base on that was of 70-80 people, but we had additional people registering after that time and also last moment show, given that we have to manage additional 40 people that has to be located in different areas. Quite obvious that I did not give clear enough instructions, I personally apology for that, I (we) will do better next year. I hope you had good time and good food also if a little bit detach from the other tables.
My feeling is that this event consolidates what is the "core" of the MySQL community.
We have seen many companies providing the same service, one close to the other sitting and talking with positive spirit and attitude. I have been personally chatting all the time with people from SkySQL, Percona and others, all of us with open and friendly attitude.
I have seen Oracle people participate to the conference (hurray!!!), as IOUG committee member I know very well the number of time we have said to Oracle to be there, and they were! This was good, period.
In relation of what is happening to MySQL, and where is that leading us, I have confirm my idea that nowadays we are not talking anymore of LAMP or Full stack, when we talk about MySQL.
What customers, companies and users are expecting is a more complex and articulate environment. Interaction between different blocks is now not an optional but a fact.
When we approach an existing environment or when we have to build a new one, we now think in term of hundreds of application servers, terabytes of data to store or to process, many different client platform to support and impressive amount of data to analyze for reporting.
Feel free to fill the boxes with the name of the product that you like most, but for sure you will not limit yourself to MySQL or LAMP.
Already today I have customers using MySQL, Oracle Database, MongoDB, Hadoop and more, all in one single connected environment.
Thinking in term of MySQL only when we think to product, service, monitoring or design is too limitative.
For instance a tools that monitor MySQL but do not catch his interaction with other element like Hadoop, is going to provide only part of the picture. That partial picture referring only to MySQL metrics will be close to be useless because it will not be able to provide all the require information needed to perform a valid analysis and eventually projection.
In other terms will cover the basic of the single block and will not help us to get the big picture. That is it, still useful to keep the block in decent state but will let you blind for what is going on in the whole context.
This is for many aspects true also for the products, each block, MySQL included, must become more and more flexible to exchange data with the others. This can be achieve developing specific interfaces, or by defining a common protocol/format of communication that is shared between the different blocks.
In MySQL universe (or MariaDB), this also means to keep consistency and to remain as open as possible to facilitate the creation of additional plug-in/engines.
But what really worries me, given also is "my" field, is "service". Those environments require support, design and so on. We know very well how complex a MySQL environment could be, what about it when we start to have many other actors involve? What really scares me is the level of knowledge is required to cover all of them or just a segment.
I am convince that we will have to work around it, because users/customers/companies will ask us to provide the support for all the element in their architecture, actually it is already happening, and the real risk is to have or become generalist instead of high profile experts.
If you don't do it, if you do not differentiate, the risk is to be isolate by the market, and yes be very smart on that specific area, but not able to understand the big picture, ergo useless.
On the other hand, trying to do too much could drives you (as company) to disperse the resource and have an average level, that is good but not Excellent with capital "E".
The possible solution is to have a huge monster with hundred and hundred of people, and division per technology … and … well I have seen already several of them starting and die. Starting good with very high service quality and then become big, heavy and so slow that customers moves out.
No that is not the solution, solution reside in being able to balance correctly what you can do with your resources, and reasonable growth, and what not.
I am working in a multi technology company, and I know very well of what I am talking about when I say that balance is the key. The future will need to see two things: one is the companies improving their capacity to cover more then just MySQL, the other is open the space to collaboration, company covering different technologies must start to interact more, and offer better service and results to the users/customers in a cooperative way.
That will allow the single company to remain focus on few things and keep a high level of expertise on the chosen areas. Working in a cooperative way is the key.
All this needs to happen, and require coordination.
Flexibility and coordination are the keywords for the future. The MySQL community have shown already how much energy it has, how strong it could be in difficult moment and how much we really care about our customer/users.
What I see for the future is us working all together gathering all the actors involve, and give life to a new ecosystem which will help to facilitate the evolution of the next generation of data and applications.
In term of talks I have to say I was expecting a little bit more, not from the speakers only (me included), but also from the product companies.
As said I think is time to move to the next step and I was expecting more talks about interactions between technologies.
I am not saying that we should not cover the base; we must do it, but having more talks on how MySQL and MongoDB coexist, or how we could help Terabytes of data to be process between A and B; well that would have be nice.
Not only as what we have now, but also what we are planning for the future, including new features and ideas for the development.
In this regards the only relevant speeches I have seen were, the ones done by my colleague Danil Zburivsky on Hadoop/MySQL , and the other about Json by Anders Karlsson during the MariaDB/SkySQL event.
Thanks guys you see the future, and shame on Marco that was thinking about it and could have done it but did not … may be for the next conference.
Said that, the level of the speeches was good, I have being talking with the people attending, most of them satisfy, but let us wait and see what the evaluations will reveal.
What I can say is that I really enjoy the tutorial on Xtradb and Galera done by Jay Janssen, that helps me to feel less alone in the Galera implementation adventure; and I regret to have miss the "InnoDB: A journey to the core" by Davi Arnaut and Jeremy Cole. But I was presenting at the same slot, and would have not be nice for me to say to the people there, ok let us move all to the next room.
WoooW, first time as sponsor and first time with a boot. A lot of talk, a lot of possible new friends and a better understanding on what we need to do to be more effective next time. T-shirts first!!! Lesson learned we bring to few … we could have cover all the bay area with LOVE YOUR DATA, we miss the target this year, we will not do the same the next one.
I think that this year we had a well-balanced expo, with less show, but more focus, I must also mention the presence outside the expo area of Julian Cash (http://jceventphoto.com/index.html), which takes a lot of cool shot of most of us.
I know Julian was there also during other conferences but I never met him before. I did this year and was a great experience, I hate to takes photos but with Julian I was having so much fun that at the end I love it.
Another well establish event at MySQL conference, and every year we have fun. This year I have enjoy the Shlomi one, and absolutely AWSOME was the performance from the Tokutek team.
About the Lightening talks and just to confirm what Dave Apgar was saying in his really good presentation, shit happens and you never know when. I had place my video camera and register the WHOLE event, and guess what… my new SD card just failed, and nothing I mean NOTHING was there after. Next time I will come with TWO video cameras and will setup redundancy!
Finally during the conference we had two very significant announcements.
The first one was the expected merge of MariaDB and SkySQL, nothing new, but it is good to see that SkySQL is defining his identity with more determination, but not only this merge is very important because all MariaDB users now have a clear referring point, that will hep them and the community to better adopt and improve MariaDB. Way to go guys well done!
The second one is about Tokutek (http://www.tokutek.com/), finally open source. I have tested it the first time 3 years ago, and was a very interesting technology, but hard to have implemented because customers where reluctant to go for non-open source code.
Just a note, I wrote open source, not free. Open source doesn't mean free, and here the concept was very clear, customers were willing to "eventually" pay, but not for close code.
Tokutek move is not only smart because will allow the company to have substantial help from the community in identify issues, improve utilization and identify new trends, but it is smart also because remove the last philosophical barrier in the software adoption.
From the technical point of view, the presentations have shown a significant improvement in respect to the previous years, and I was very impress from the presentation done by Gerry Narvaja during the SkySQL/MariaDB event.
One thing is sure, I have customers that could take huge benefit from Tokutek and I will give a try right away starting next week.
No doubt from my side, I was not even mentioning before because for me is a given.
On the 12 of March 2011 I have written this article http://www.tusacentral.net/joomla/index.php/mysql-blogs/96-a-dream-on-mysql-parallel-replication, which was my dream about replication. At the time of writing I was not aware/testing ANY software able to do what I was asking.
On the 23 November 2011 I wrote another article http://www.tusacentral.net/joomla/index.php/mysql-blogs/119-galera-on-red-hat-is-123-part-1, and that was my first approach with Galera.
On the 29 September 2012 I have presented the first results of a POC done on customer environment http://www.slideshare.net/marcotusa/scaling-with-sync-replication-2012.
Next week, I must implement another MySQL Cluster, base on Galera replication.
The winner for me is the Galera solution (http://www.codership.com/), whatever version you may like; from my side I have found that the Percona version is the more stable, and using the Severalnines tool to manage the cluster (http://www.severalnines.com/clustercontrol) is also helpful.
All the ones that have believe MySQL was over on the 2010 (Oracle take over).
We have MySQL from Oracle, we have MariaDB from Monty, we have companies developing their storage engines and tools, we have a more complex ecosystem that is growing day by day.
No MySQL is not over at all.
One note only, whoever leads the development from any side, reminds that you MUST allow the community to use and develop code on top of yours, modify interfaces without documenting, or not be fully explicit on what to do, how to do, and which direction, well it is not fair.
Percona Live, MySQL Conference in Santa Clara was a great conference, done by great people. We can do better all of us, always, but what makes me feel good is that I know we will do better next year.
Did not you miss some one? Did you as I did, feel as that something was not right? Was not a face missed?
I mean … yes! He! Baron Schwartz!! Hey man we miss you!!! Or at list I miss you and your block notes during the presentations, come back ASAP.
Happy MySQL to everyone.
And more ...
The following is a review of the real status about Amazon RDS in comparison with EC2.
The purpose is to have a better understanding of possible limitation in the platform usage, and what is a possible fit and what not.
I did a first review an year ago for internal purpose, but now we are receiving the same questions over and over from different customers.
Given that and given a lot of things could happen in one year, I have decide to repeat the review and perform the tests once again.
What needs to be underline is that, I am doing this in consideration of a usage in PRODUCION, not as QA or development.
So my considerations are obviously focus on more demanding scenarios.
There are different ways that we can choose to start our EC2 or RDS, both have different cost and "virtual" physical characteristics, the list for both is below:
T1 Micro (t1.micro) Free tier eligibleUp to 2 ECUs1 Core613 MiB
M1 Small (m1.small)1 ECU1 Core1.7 GiB
M1 Medium (m1.medium)2 ECUs1 Core3.7 GiB
M1 Large (m1.large)4 ECUs2 Cores7.5 GiB
M1 Extra Large (m1.xlarge)8 ECUs4 Cores15 GiB
M3 Extra Large (m3.xlarge)13 ECUs4 Cores15 GiB
M3 Double Extra Large (m3.2xlarge)26 ECUs8 Cores30 GiB
M2 High-Memory Extra Large (m2.xlarge)6.5 ECUs2 Cores17.1 GiB
M2 High-Memory Double Extra Large (m2.2xlarge)13 ECUs4 Cores34.2 GiB
M2 High-Memory Quadruple Extra Large (m2.4xlarge)26 ECUs8 Cores68.4 GiB
C1 High-CPU Medium (c1.medium)5 ECUs2 Cores1.7 GiB
C1 High-CPU Extra Large (c1.xlarge)20 ECUs8 Cores7 GiB
High Storage Eight Extra Large (hs1.8xlarge)35 ECUs16 Cores117 GiB
Micro DB Instance: 630 MB memory, Up to 2 ECU (for short periodic bursts), 64-bit platform, Low I/O Capacity
Small DB Instance: 1.7 GB memory, 1 ECU (1 virtual core with 1 ECU), 64-bit platform, Moderate I/O Capacity
Medium DB Instance: 3.75 GB memory, 2 ECU (1 virtual core with 2 ECU), 64-bit platform, Moderate I/O Capacity
Large DB Instance: 7.5 GB memory, 4 ECUs (2 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each), 64-bit platform, High I/O Capacity
Extra Large DB Instance: 15 GB of memory, 8 ECUs (4 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each), 64-bit platform, High I/O Capacity
High-Memory Extra Large DB Instance 17.1 GB memory, 6.5 ECU (2 virtual cores with 3.25 ECUs each), 64-bit platform, High I/O Capacity
High-Memory Double Extra Large DB Instance: 34 GB of memory, 13 ECUs (4 virtual cores with 3,25 ECUs each), 64-bit platform,
High I/O CapacityHigh-Memory Quadruple Extra Large DB Instance: 68 GB of memory, 26 ECUs (8 virtual cores with 3.25 ECUs each), 64-bit platform, High I/O Capacity
EC2 imply that we do by ourselves the installation, setting up and maintenance of our system and Database software, but for RDS, Amazon provide few "features" that is important to keep in mind and have in mind for later discussions.
The most relevant are:
Pre-configured Parameters – Amazon RDS DB Instances are pre-configured with a sensible set of parameters and settings appropriate for the DB Instance class we select.
Monitoring and Metrics – Amazon RDS provides Amazon CloudWatch metrics for your DB Instance deployments at no additional charge. You can use the AWS Management Console to view key operational metrics for your DB Instance deployments, including compute/memory/storage capacity utilization, I/O activity, and DB Instance connections.
Automated Backups – Turned on by default, the automated backup feature of Amazon RDS enables point-in-time recovery for your DB Instance.
DB Snapshots – DB Snapshots are user-initiated backups of your DB Instance.
Multi-Availability Zone (Multi-AZ) Deployments – Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments provide enhanced availability and durability for Database (DB) Instances, making them a natural fit for production database workloads.
When we provision a Multi-AZ DB Instance, Amazon RDS automatically creates a primary DB instance and synchronously replicates the data to a standby instance in a different Availability Zone (AZ).
Each AZ runs on its own physically distinct, independent infrastructure, in case of an infrastructure failure (for example, instance crash, storage failure, or network disruption), Amazon RDS performs an automatic failover to the standby so that you can resume database operations as soon as the failover is complete.
Read Replicas – This replication feature makes it easy to elastically scale out beyond the capacity constraints of a single DB Instance for read-heavy database workloads. Amazon RDS uses MySQL's native replication to propagate changes made to a source DB Instance to any associated Read Replicas.
As shown before in RDS we cannot do too much regarding the storage, we can just choose between different instances, and if we want to have provisioned IOPS.
On EC2 we obviously have both, but we also can choose how to define and use our storage solution.
Amazon presents to us the Pre-configured parameters as a cool "feature" but this is just one side of the coin. The other side is that we cannot really adjust some of the critical parameters for MySQL, or that their values are not as define in standard MySQL.
The parameters in discussion are:
binlog_format | STATEMENT expire_logs_days | 0
(calc)| innodb_buffer_pool_size | 3921674240
innodb_doublewrite | ON
innodb_file_format_max | Antelope
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog | OFF
innodb_log_file_size | 134217728
innodb_log_files_in_group | 2
innodb_log_group_home_dir | /rdsdbdata/log/innodb (Max 300)
innodb_open_files | 300
max_binlog_size | 134217728 (max 4294967295)
max_join_size | 4294967295
open_files_limit | 65535
Most concerning are, the binlog format, InnoDB Log related ones.
From the architectural point of view, I do not have a clear way of HOW the Multi-AZ is implemented, and I am really interested in discovering how in Amazon they have achieved the declared Synchronous replication.
I am just guessing here but some base replication using DRBD Primary/Secondary seems the most probable. What could be concerning here is the protocol level use for such replication, and level of block transmission acknowledge, given a full protocol C will be probably to expensive, also if the ONLY really safe in the case of DRBD usage. But given I don't have clear if the solution is really using it, let me just say it will be good to have better insight.
We cannot use standard replication in RDS, we need to rely on Read-Replicas, or not use replication at all. The only solution is to use external solution like Continuent Tungsten (http://scale-out-blog.blogspot.ca/2013/01/replicating-from-mysql-to-amazon-rds.html).
It is important to note that RDS replication between master and Read-replica is using the STATEMENT binlog format, and it cannot be change, as direct consequence we do have inefficient replication between master and replicas for all non-deterministic statements, and in case of mixed transactions between storage engines.
The test performed where not too intensive, and I was mainly focus on identify what will be the safe limit of usage/load for RDS in comparison to an EC2 instance properly set.
As such I have choose to use the Large Instance set for both EC2 and RDS, with 2 virtual CPU 7.5GB virtual RAM, High I/O capacity for RDS.
For EC2 the only difference will reside in the fact I perform the tests using 1 EBS for the data directory in one case, and a raid5 of 4 EBS in the other.
Also in regards of the MySQL configuration I have "standardize" the configuration of the different instance using the same parameters.
Only differences was that I was not using SSL in the MySQL EC2 instance, while it cannot be turn off in RDS because Amazon security is relying on it.
The test was using a variable number of concurrent threads:
Writing on 5 main tables and on 5 child table.
Read on main table joining 4 tables to main, filtering the results by IN clause in on test, and by RANGE in another.
The structures of the tables are the following:
mysql> DESCRIBE tbtest1;
FIELD | Type | NULL | KEY | DEFAULT | Extra
autoInc | bigint(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | AUTO_INCREMENT
a | int(11) | NO | MUL | NULL |
uuid | char(36) | NO | MUL | NULL |
b | varchar(100) | NO | | NULL |
c | char(200) | NO | | NULL |
counter | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL |
time | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | ON UPDATE
partitionid | int(11) | NO | | 0 |
strrecordtype | char(3) | YES | | NULL |
mysql> DESCRIBE tbtest_child1;
FIELD | Type | NULL | KEY | DEFAULT | Extra |
a | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL |
bb | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | AUTO_INCREMENT
partitionid | int(11) | NO | | 0 |
stroperation | varchar(254) | YES | | NULL |
time | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | ON UPDATE
The filling factor for each table after the initial write was:
Table tbtest1 total 1046 least 745 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest2 total 1046 least 745 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest3 total 1046 least 745 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest4 total 1046 least 745 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest5 total 1046 least 745 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest_child1 total 779 least 648 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest_child2 total 779 least 648 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest_child3 total 779 least 648 bytes per char: 3
Table tbtest_child4 total 779 least 648 bytes per char: 3
Finally the total size of the data set was of 20Gb.
The inserts were using batch approach of 50 inserts per Insert command for all the platforms.
Below the summary of the tests to run
oltp 5 + 4 table write 4 -> 32
oltp 5 + 4 table read (IN) 4 -> 32
oltp 5 + 4 table read (RANGE) 4 -> 32
oltp 5 + 4 table write/read(IN) 4 -> 32
Results for write using 4 to 32 concurrent threads
(High value is bad)
As the graph clearly shows, the behavior of the RDS and EC2 with one EBS is quite similar, while the EC2 running a RAID of EBS is maintaining good response time and scales in writes, the other two have a collapse point at 16 Threads, after which performance are becoming seriously affected.
(High values is good)
Consistently the number of Rows inserted in a defined period of time, see again the EC2 with RAID5 performing in the optimal way in relation to the other two.
During this test the performance loss starts at 8 threads, for EC2 solutions, while for the RDS solution it is with the increase of concurrency that we immediately see the performance degradation.
Using the select with IN given the high efficiency of the IN approach, and the reduce number of reads that require to be executed on disk, all the instance maintain a good level of performance.
(High value is good)
In this case all the instances are consistently performing, but the EC2 with RAID solution can serve a larger amount of requests, almost 1/3 larger then of the RDS.
In the case of range selects and heavy access on disks, the RDS and EC2 with 1 EBS, are absolutely not able to perform at the same level of the RAID solution. This quite obviously related to the amount of data needs to be read from disks, and the limitation existing in RDS and 1 EBS solutions.
The volume test confirms and highlights the different behavior between EC2 RAID and the others, at 32 concurrent threads the RDS solution tends to collapse, while the EC2 RAID is serving successfully the traffic also if with less efficiency.
In a mix workload, I had unexpected results, with EC2 1 EBS behaving very badly when working with more then 16 threads, this given the I/O contention and possible RDS optimizations, implemented by Amazon to prevent single EBS problems.
Except that the RDS and the EC2 with RAID behave as I was expecting, with EC2 able to manage a larger volume of traffic, and the Inserts limiting the number of reads, as expected.
The comparison between RDS and EC2, cover several areas, from performance to High Availability.
My conviction is that RDS is not implementing a solid and trustable HA solution given the not clear way synchronous replication is implemented.
RDS is not applying correct best practices for replication given the use of STATEMENT format and the limitation existing in the replication management.
Finally RDS is not really efficient in managing large volume of traffic, or applications with a large number of highly concurrent threads.
Never the less it could be a temporary solution for very basic utilization in application that do not have demanding requirements.
RDS can probably further optimize, but I am sure it will never be enough to consider RDS production ready.
EC2 is more flexible and allow better tuning and control of the platform, multiple HA solutions and full control of replication and MySQL in general. All these define the significant difference with RDS, and draw the line for the right use of the tool.
Also there is not a difference in what kind of MySQL distribution we will implement, given that the source of the issue is on the platform.
My final advice is to use RDS for development or as temporary solution in a start-up, but it should not be use in the case of critical system or consolidated mature application, which require high available, scalable database support.

EllenFort Worth, TXAge: 55-65Gender: female2 Stars Out Of 5SappySeptember 29, 2015EllenFort Worth, TXAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 0Value: 0Meets Expectations: 0This review was written for Perfectly Matched, Blue Willow Brides Series #3 -eBook.I enjoyed the first 2 Blue Willow books, but this last one was so sappy I kept laying it down. It would have appealed to a teen reader, but was just too unbelievable for me to enjoy.
I agree with you, Maria, too much detail in the intimacy. Also, Anna never seemed to mature to Edwards level. He had to just learn to tolerate her childishness to retain her love.
I like to see the main characters reach a level of Christian maturity by the end of the book. Anna never got there.
mariaAge: 25-34Gender: female2 Stars Out Of 5nice enoughSeptember 19, 2014mariaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 1I think this book was nice. not as good as the first one in the series, though, but still good. I agree with another reviewer that there was too much intimacy. I kept wishing the author would cut out all that lovey-dovey stuff and get on with the story. Hence I skipped over a lot of the lovemaking. I don't like that stuff in a book. it's unnecessary, especially for Christian fiction. I also disliked anna's immaturity and her endless collecting of animals. it was annoying and frankly, it made the book boring. She was so childish and silly, and I don't know how she ended up with a mature, albeit perfectionist husband. Anna really brought the story down. The heroine was totally annoying and not someone I could relate to at all.
naomichristine5 Stars Out Of 5perfectly matchedAugust 25, 2014naomichristineQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5in the third book of the series The Blue Willow bride, perfectly match is an awesome breathtaking book!

Since Edward is a perfectionist he gets upset that she doesnt do things perfect. They learn to adjust to eachother and learn to love each others imperfections! This is amazing book that teaches us that God never makes mistakes in his time is always perfect! There are many twists and turns in this story that will keep you you thirsty for more God bless You Maggie Brendan for this amazing story! You won't be disappointed when you read it!
sherrijingaGeorgiaAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Great fiinish!April 30, 2014sherrijingaGeorgiaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I enjoyed this last book in the Blue Willow Series. The free-spirited youngest sister becomes a mail-order bride, just like her two older sisters. She bites off a little more than she can chew when she marries an OCD clock maker. She's more adventurous than he is so she really adds some spice to his life. Their love blossoms after the marriage, as is the case with a mail-order bride story, and their faith in God blossoms, as well. I can't wait for Maggie's next book! A word of caution: there are some PG-13ish scenes in the book that might not be suitable for young pre-teen girls. So moms might want to make sure they read it first. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

In a short but prodigious career Raymond Mathewson Hood (March 29, 1881 – August 14, 1934) had an outsized influence on twentieth century architecture. Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Hood was the son of a box manufacturer in an affluent Baptist family.[1] He attended Brown University before studying at MIT School of Architecture, later graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts in 1911. While in Paris, Hood met John Mead Howells, who in 1922 would select him as a partner for the design of the Chicago Tribune Tower. The team would beat out many more avant-garde entries by the likes of Walter Gropius, Adolf Loos, and Eliel Saarinen, with their own Neo-Gothic edifice that mimicked the Butter Tower of Rouen Cathedral.

AMO Designs Paris Pop-Up Club
On Saturday, July 4, designer Prada and AMO—a research studio subset of OMA architecture—hosted The Miu Miu Club, a pop-up event, featuring dinner, a fashion show, and several musical performances in Paris, France.
Inside of the 1937 art deco Palais d-Iena, Paris' current CESE government offices, the one-night event was held in the Hypostyle, using a scaffolding ring to create a "room within a room." Strip lighting, metal grids, PVC sheets, and arrangements of luxurious furniture were also used to enhance the space.
8 Influential Art Deco Skyscrapers by Ralph Thomas Walker
No architect played a greater role in shaping the twentieth century Manhattan skyline than Ralph Thomas Walker, winner of the 1957 AIA Centennial Gold Medal and a man once dubbed "Architect of the Century" by the New York Times. [1] But a late-career ethics scandal involving allegations of stolen contracts by a member of his firm precipitated his retreat from the architecture establishment and his descent into relative obscurity. Only recently has his prolific career been popularly reexamined, spurred by a new monograph and a high-profile exhibit of his work at the eponymous Walker Tower in New York in 2012.
Architecture City Guide: Modern New York
"A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe, and fifty times: It is a beautiful catastrophe." Le Corbusier
This architecture city guide celebrates Modernism in one of the world's greatest cities: New York. We embark on an architectural journey through nearly a century of innovative, revolutionary architecture: from early 20th century, revivalist Beaux-Arts; to machine-age Art Deco of the Inter-War period; to the elegant functionalism of the International Style; to the raw, exposed Brutalism characteristic of the Post-War years; and, finally, to the splendid forms of organic architecture. From world-renowned landmarks to undiscovered jewels, we invite you to explore the 2,028 blocks that make Manhattan an architectural mecca for citizens around the world.

Through the Lens: Art Deco's debt to Agatha Christie
This article comes courtesy of Charlotte Neilson, the author of the fascinating design blog Casting Architecture. Her column, Through the Lens, will look at architecture and production design in TV and film.
The categorisation of period architecture generally remains firmly in the realm of the professional or amateur enthusiast - let's face it, you can go through life without knowing the difference between a Corinthian and Ionic column without too much inconvenience. Oddly, however, most people are able to name a few of the main features of Art Deco architecture fairly easily - the curved corners, stylised forms, the use of bakelite and chrome, the transport motifs.
It's interesting that this period is so much more familiar to us, considering it spanned quite a short timeframe compared to other architectural styles; the Arts and Crafts and Art Noveau movements, for example, which both occurred in a similar time frame to Art Deco, are much less known to the wider community.
It's possible of course that Art Deco is just more omnipresent because of its universal appeal, or its uniqueness, but I think most of the credit should go to Monsieur Hercule Poirot.

Fundraiser: Modernism London Style / Niels Lehmann
Like no other style, Art Deco represents a built manifestation of the interwar period's enthusiasm and splendor. In London, buildings of this era reflect the elegance, progress and assertiveness that describe the modern metropolis age. Even today, these buildings have lost none of their aura and appeal, yet they lack any proper documentation.
Together, Niels Lehmann and Christoph Rauhut have worked tirelessly for the past three years researching and photographing London's architectural Art Deco heritage. With your help, they will feature over 230 buildings with large-scaled photographs in the soon-to-be published book "Modernism London Style." Follow this link to become a supporter and learn more.

Canon PowerShot S120
Another year has passed, which means that there's another iteration of Canon's popular S-series compact PowerShot camera. This time, it's the PowerShot S120 ($450), which is slated to be released this October. Like the models before it, the pocket-sized shooter packs a serious punch, and should be on the radar of consumers and prosumers alike. S120's changes from the S110 aren't as major as in some past upgrades, but there are some real improvements.
To start, the image processor has been updated to a DIGIC 6, reducing noise when shooting at higher ISOs, and allowing for faster frame rates for shots—the first 6 images are snapped at just over 12 frames per second. Additionally, the autofocus and shutter speed are both supposed to be 50% faster, while 1080p video can now be shot at 60fps. Canon has also slightly improved the 5X zoom lens, which now starts at f/1.8 rather than f/2.0 for enhanced speed in wide-angle shots, falling to f/5.7 (rather than f/5.9) at the end of its zoom range. Integrated Wi-Fi support is again included, with the ability to transfer images directly to various photo-sharing services, or to an iOS device running a special Canon app. All that, in a body that's just slightly taller and thicker than the S110.

I have been on Norvasc for 4 years on 5mg. is it safe to consume alcohol in moderation? I don't get any side effects from the medication but i would love a drink every now and then.
Drinking Alcohol on Norvasc- ok in moderation?

- norvasc, high blood pressure, hypertension, side effect, alcohol
Answers (2)
14 Jun 2010
According to the prescribing information for Norvasc (amlodipine besylate), alcohol does not interact negatively with this drug. This possible interaction was looked at during clinical studies with Norvasc. In these studies, people were given either single or multiple doses of Norvasc. In either case, the levels of alcohol in the body, along with how long it remained, did not change.
Although alcohol and Norvasc can probably be combined safely, however it is always better to talk with your doc/pharmacist who prescribed the med. He or she is in the best position to give recommendations for your particular situation. Hope this helps?

This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 510,270 filed Sept. 30, 1974 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,234, by the same inventors and owned by the same assignees.
Synthetic polymers, for instance, those based upon allyl resins such as diallyl glycol carbonate or polycarbonates, are used extensively for eyeglass lenses, other lenses in the optical industry, and such as sheet glazing material for windows or parts used in building construction, vehicles such as trains, cars, airplanes, ships, and the like. Such polymeric lenses and sheets are advantageous since they can be manufactured inexpensively by casting or injection molding, making it possible to obtain thereby complicated surface configurations directly without expensive grinding. While the diallyl glycol carbonates as a class of polymers are generally substantially resistant to abrasion and scratching as compared to polymethylmethacrylates, it is desirable to increase their abrasion resistance by applying thereto a hard transparent protective layer.
The invention relates to synthetic polymer sheet material protected from abrasion by a coating of vitreous inorganic oxides.
Previous workers (German Pat. No. 1,204,048) in this art have sought to solve the problem of successfully applying a durable vitreous transparent protective layer to a synthetic polymer by applying a thin adhesive layer of Al2 O3 by vapor deposition and subsequently applying a protective layer of silicon dioxide by vapor deposition. Such compositions have met with adhesion difficulties in practice and the present invention provides an improved solution to the problem of protecting a synthetic thermoplastic polymer.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,645,779, there is disclosed the protection of a diallyl glycol carbonate polymer substrate by the vacuum deposition of a glass in which the coefficient of expansion of the glass which is to provide a protective layer is adapted to that of the synthetic substrate by altering the proportion of boron oxide in the glass. The glass disclosed has as essential components boron oxide, silicon dioxide and up to 5% by weight of Na2 O. It has been found that such glass has a significantly lower thermal expansion than the plastic substrate. It has also been found that it is not enough to match the coefficient of expansion of the glass to that of the synthetic polymer to achieve a commercially satisfactory eyeglass lens or sheet plastic material, since these items coated by the prior art remain sensitive to moisture in the air, and as the diallyl glycol carbonate polymers are hygroscopic. As water is absorbed by the synthetic polymer, the bond between the polymer and the hard protective layer of the prior art is weakened with delamination eventually occurring. The present invention provides a solution to this problem by providing improved moisture resistance and adhesion of the glass coatings to the synthetic polymer lens and sheet material even without specific attempts to match the coefficients of thermal expansion of substrate and coating.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,811,753, there is disclosed a coated optical component made of a synthetic polymer such as polycarbonate in which either silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide or both are deposited on the outside surface of the lens as a 1-micron to 10-microns thick vitreous coating consisting essentially of silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide. Deposition of the vitreous coating is by a conventional evaporation process. The vacuum evaporation process for forming a silicon dioxide film by vaporization of silicon monoxide in an oxygen atmosphere is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,248,256.
In U.S. Pat. No. 26,857 of U.S. Pat. No. 2,920,002, there is described a process for the manufacture of thin films of absorption-free silicon dioxide by the vaporization of silicon dioxide, preferably a mixture of SiO2 and Si, in an atmosphere enriched with oxygen.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,700,487 discloses an anti-fog abrasion resistant coating of lightly cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol on a diallyl glycol carbonate lens in which adequate bonding of the anti-fog coating is obtained by first hydrolytically treating the polymer surface by dipping in an aqueous or alcoholic solution of caustic such as sodium or potassium hydroxide.
A process is disclosed for coating a synthetic polymer substrate. A surface treatment is required as a first step with a diallyl glycol carbonate polymer sheet material. Thermoplastic polymer items prepared by molding do not require this step. The surface is hydroxylated to promote adhesion of the subsequently applied vitreous coating by subjecting said diallyl glycol carbonate synthetic polymer substrate to aqueous alkali treatment. This treatment is followed by the application of a base coating of a mixture of silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide by evaporation of silicon monoxide in an oxygen atmosphere to form a SiO2 condensate in admixture with silicon monoxide on the polymer substrate. A successive coating of an evaporable glass is applied over said base coating. The evaporable glass is selected from the group consisting of (1) silicon dioxide, glasses sold under the trademarks (2) "Vycor", or (3) "Pyrex" and (4) glass having as essential components boron oxide and silicon dioxide and containing below 5% by weight of Na2 O. The process is adapted to preparation of eyeglass lenses and such as flat sheet material protected with a hard abrasion resistant surface which is resistant to delamination as the result of exposure of the assembly to moisture in normal usage. The optical properties of the assembly are essentially retained in comparison to those of the synthetic polymer starting material.
The surface treatment of the diallyl glycol carbonate lens or sheet material has been found to be an important step in improving the moisture resistance of the coated assembly. Hydroxylation of the surface of the diallyl glycol carbonate is preferably effected by the use at 10� to 40� C, preferably room temperature, of an aqueous solution of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide or potassion hydroxide. An aqueous solution may be used instead of an alcoholic one. The concentration of alkali is from about 2% by weight to about 20% by weight. The treatment time is about 2 minutes to about 1 hour. It is theorized that the alkali treatment of diallyl glycol carbonate polymer splits ester groups on the polymer chain and introduces OH groups onto the chain. The polycarbonate lens or sheet need not be surface treated prior to application of base and outer vitreous coatings. The degree of water resistance obtained by the hydroxylation treatment of the invention is such that in comparing glass coated diallyl glycol carbonate surfaces both with the hydroxylation of the surface and not including such hydroxylation treatment, it has been found that under conditions involving exposing the assembly to 95% relative humidity at 160� F for 8 hours that only when the hydroxylation treatment is performed is the glass coating retained throughout exposure to the conditions of the test.
Glass coated polycarbonate lenses and sheet material made by the process of the invention do not require hydroxylation of the surface for satisfactory adhesion of the assembly upon exposure to conditions of high humidity and temperature. The application of said base coating under vacuum conditions of lower than 1 � 10-4 torr. acts as a "tie coat" providing a surface having excellent adhesion to the evaporable glass outer coating which is subsequently applied under the vacuum conditions of lower than 5 � 10 -4 torr.
Generally, said base coating composed of silicon monoxide or silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide is formed by treating the hydroxylated surface with silicon monoxide heated to vaporization temperature in an oxygen atmosphere to provide a layer at least one molecule in thickness. The evaporable glass outer coating is applied to a thickness of about 1 to about 6 micrometers and higher. Typically, evaporation of glass takes place in about 5 to 30 minutes in high vacuum, as previously described, with the substrate being initially heated, prior to coating, to about 40� to about 100� C.
It is believed that a bond more tenacious than would result from hydrogen bonding occurs between the plastic lens or sheet substrate and said vitreous base coating in the process of the present invention and this is an explanation for the greatly improved adhesion under conditions of high humidity and water soaking that is characteristic of the assemblies of the present invention. It is theorized that covalent bonding occurs between hydroxylated diallyl glycol carbonates of the invention and the subsequently applied base "tie coating".
As evaporable glasses, several suitable materials have been found. While a glass in which the essential components are boron oxide and silicon dioxide with up to 5% by weight of sodium monoxide has been found to be particularly suitable as an evaporable glass outer coating, alternate evaporable glasses compositions have been found suitable in the process of the invention. For instance, it has been found possible to use a pure silica present in the amorphous form, or a commercial glass sold under the trademark "Vycor" which is essentially silica or alternately a glass sold under the trademark "Pyrex", a borosilicate glass of the following composition (all compositions by weight):
SiO2 -- 80.2
B2 o3 -- 13.5
al2 O3 -- 2.2
Na2 O -- 4.0
CaO -- 0.1
Generally, the evaporable glass coating which forms the external layer can be of any glass which is capable of being deposited by vapor deposition preferably effected under a high vacuum lower than 5 � 10-4 torr.
Synthetic polymers adaptable to the process are those useful for their optical properties over a temperature range of -20� to 80� C. These include, besides the allyl resins such as the diethylene glycol diallyl carbonates, thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonates which are linear esters of carbonic acid with aliphatic or aromatic dihydroxy compounds. An example of a polycarbonate is the resin sold under the trademark "Lexan" by General Electric Company.
The following examples illustrate the invention but are to be considered in no way as limitations thereof. In this specification and claims all proportions are by weight and all temperatures are in degrees centigrade unless otherwise indicated.
A concave-convex sheet of material made of a diallyl glycol carbonate (such as that sold under the trademark "CR 39" by PPG Industries, Inc.) is thoroughly dried by heating to 160� F for 15 hours and then surface treated to improve the adhesion of vitreous coatings to be subsequently applied to one or more surfaces of the sheet. A 10% solution of sodium hydroxide in methyl alcohol is prepared and the side or sides to be coated is exposed to this solution at room temperature for a period of 20 minutes.
Next, the sheet is coated with a mixture of silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide by utilizing a process of evaporation using a source of silicon monoxide in a vucuum of 4 � 10-5 torr. in an oxygen atmosphere and condensation of the vapor thus generated on the side or sides being coated. By such a process, coating composed of a mixture of SiO and SiO2 is formed on the desired side or sides of the sheet. A refractive index of 1.5 is obtained for the coating. A film of 0.2 micrometer of base coating can thus be applied. Since this and the subsequent coating will induce stress in the sheet which may be sufficient to bend the sheet while it is being coated, it may be necessary to counterbalance the stress with a suitable jig or fixture. For example, a pair of spaced, parallel, grooved rods can be positioned to hold the edges of a sheet while it is being coated, if necessary. If both sides are coated simultaneously, the counterbalancing will naturally occur. Alternately successive, thin layers of the complete coating may be applied on alternate sides.
The silicon dioxide coated sheet is mounted on a support in a vacuum chamber at a distance of about 550 mm above a water cooled crucible which contains the glass to be evaporated. We prefer a glass having a chemical analysis expressed in weight percent as follows:
silica (SiO2) -- 83.3
aluminum oxide (Al2 O3) -- 2.3
sodium oxide (Na2 O) -- 2.1
potassium oxide (K2 O) -- 0.3
fluoride (F2) -- 0.2
boron oxide (B2 O3) -- 11.8
The chamber is pumped down to high vacuum, the initial evaporation pressure is 6 � 10-6 torr, and the final evaporation pressure is 2.6 � 10-6 torr. The contents of the crucible are heated by an electron beam focused on the surface of the glass in the crucible for the evaporation of the glass. Prior to the evaporative coating process, the diallyl diethylene glycol carbonate sheet is heated to a temperature of 70� C and a final temperature of 58� C is obtained upon conclusion of the process. The electron beam acceleration voltage is 4 to 5 kV, the electron beam emission current is 400 mA and the film thickness deposited is 4 microns. This coating thickness is obtained after an evaporation time of 20 minutes. The apparatus is then flooded with air and the sheet taken out. The sheet is highly scratch resistant. The base coating of a mixture of silicon dioxide and silicon monoxide and evaporable glass outer coating is found to be well bonded to the sheet surface and resistant to removal and edge failure.
In accordance with the procedure of EXAMPLE 1, alkali treatment of the diallyl diethylene glycol carbonate sheet of EXAMPLE 1 is effected using instead potassium hydroxide. The procedure of EXAMPLE 1 is continued with the application of the silicon dioxide film in the amount of 0.2 micrometers and an evaporable glass film subsequently is applied over the silicon dioxide film, the evaporable glass thickness being 4 micrometers.
The procedure of EXAMPLE 1 is repeated except that for the evaporable glass used in EXAMPLE 1, there is used alternately and in turn a pure silica (amorphous), a fused silica having a purity of 96 to 99.99% silicon dioxide, a glass sold under the trademark "Vycor" and a glass sold under the trademark "Pyrex", the composition of which is given above.
The procedure of EXAMPLE 1 is repeated except that no hydroxylation of the surface of the synthetic polymer is effected. The polymer sheet used is an aromatic polycarbonate sold under the trademark "Lexan". The sheet is coated on both sides. Water resistance is obtained.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the specific details of certain embodiments thereof, it is not intended that such details shall be regarded as limitations upon the scope of the invention.

Finish it off by attaching the split rings to the strap rings on your camera.
I love this camera strap because, for me, it falls in that perfect place between entirely utilitarian and cosmetic. It's minimalist but still has a little style.
I have always wanted to work more with leather! I will have to try this out. xx. McKenna Lou
I needed this tutorial at christmas! It's not too late. I can say to my SIL, I know that it isn't Christmas anymore, but this is what I SHOULD have made you.ReplyDelete
Haha. It's the thought (not the execution or the timing) that counts, right?Delete

Academic Flexibility:
My experience at this school has been assume because everybody is helpful.
Academic Flexibility:
Although I didn't have credits to transfer which is fine.
Academic Flexibility:
CollegeAmerica is awesome. I have evening classes so everything works out. The classes are Monday through Thursday, no classes on Fridays and on weekends. They asked if I attended another college before there and I got to see if the credits were able to transfer but I only took few classes so I'm not sure if they were transferable. The place is great and instructors are great as well.
Academic Flexibility:
They are understandable about any problems you have with schedules, so they work with you to make sure you can make the classes and not miss any days.
